Gday All,
That’s very interesting! I’ve not seen or heard of nuts to retain the front wheel before. I just tried to zoom in on the photos of Lewis’ machine but I’m unable to determine. It could very well be an historical indicator. I’m seriously up for the view that it is factory. It’s the kind of thing you might do in the early days of production which would be reconsidered later down track from the point of view of production cost- especially if the collars are available off the shelf.
Many thanks for this potential insight!
Can we have photos please?
Greenfielder, can you shed some insight on this?
Cheers,
EDIT: just pulled up photos of greenfielder’s machine. It”s bit blurry but it appears to have nuts!
Will try to post photos but this new iPad really hates sending photos to the forum
